ABSTRACT:

All Americans immortalize America as the land of freedom. American Experience argues for independence of mind and deed. American Experience upholds capitalism, savings, free enterprise, and privatization. There is the sustained focus on the equality of opportunities and the equality before law. American Experience underscores the fact that diplomacy is the first line of defence and militarism is the second line of approach to solve problems. It places the stress on candour, self-reliance, progress, affirmation, pragmatism and dynamism and distinct individualistic identity, and at the same time places the emphasis on American mainstream culture. This paper aims at revealing the American experience a Jew encounters in the land of freedom. Bernard Malamud obviously brings it out in his short story collection THE MAGIC BARREL.
